Stink Bugs: A Fall Pest Control Guide

Preventing Stink Bug Infestations

Fall is a beautiful season, bringing vibrant foliage, cooler temperatures, and the anticipation of the holidays. However, it also marks the season when stink bugs start to invade our homes and gardens. These insects can quickly become a nuisance if left unchecked. These flat, shield-shaped insects are notorious for their pungent odor, which they release when disturbed. While they don't pose any serious health risks, their presence can be quite unpleasant and even unsightly in our homes. Budget Pest Control Services discusses effective pest control strategies to keep stink bugs at bay during the fall season

The best way to deal with stink bugs is to prevent them from entering your home in the first place. Here are some effective prevention strategies:

Seal Entry Points: Stink bugs often seek shelter in homes during the colder months. Take the time to seal any cracks or gaps around windows, doors, utility pipes, and vents. Use caulk or weather stripping to fill in these openings and create a barrier against these unwelcome guests.

Use Yellow Outdoor Lights.: Stink bugs are attracted to bright lights, especially those emitted from porch lights. During the evenings, consider turning off porch lights and using yellow bulbs indoors, which are less attractive to these insects.

Reduce Food Sources: Stink bugs aren't attracted to food, but they can become a nuisance if they find crumbs or spills left on countertops or floors. Regularly wipe down surfaces and dispose of food scraps in sealed containers to eliminate potential food sources.

Trim Trees and Shrubs: Trees and shrubs that overhang your home provide easy access for stink bugs. Trim branches away from windows and doors to reduce the likelihood of entry.

Eliminating Stink Bugs

Even with preventive measures, you may still find stink bugs making their way into your home. Here are some effective methods for dealing with them:

Vacuuming: Vacuuming is a non-chemical method that effectively removes stink bugs from your home. Use a vacuum with a hose attachment to reach into cracks and crevices where these bugs may be hiding. Empty the vacuum bag immediately and dispose of it outside in a sealed container.

Natural Repellents: Certain natural substances, such as cinnamon, peppermint oil, and lavender oil, can repel stink bugs due to their strong scents. You can use these oils in diffusers or spray them on areas where stink bugs are commonly found.

Seek Professional Help

If the infestation is severe or you're concerned, consider hiring a professional pest control company like Budget Pest Control Services. They have the expertise and equipment to effectively eliminate stink bugs from your home.

While stink bugs can be a nuisance during the fall, with proper prevention and control measures, you can keep them at bay and enjoy the rest of the season without their presence. By following these tips, you can create a more comfortable and pest-free indoor environment for you and your family.

Lookout For These Common Annoying Pests During the Warmer Months

Budget Pest Control Services has listed some of the most common spring pests to look out for and tips for preventive measures.

https://budgetpestcontrolpgh.com/lookout-for-these-common-annoying-pests/

Ticks: 

May is a peak time for tick activity in Pittsburgh. Ticks can be found in wooded areas and tall grasses. Preventive measures such as wearing protective clothing and using tick repellents are important. Conducting regular tick checks after outdoor activities is also recommended.

Termites: 

May is a common time for termite swarmers to emerge and start new colonies. Termite control usually requires professional assistance from a pest control company like Budget Pest Control Services, as these pests can cause significant damage to structures.

Ants: 

With warmer weather, ants become more active and may enter homes in search of food and water. Common ant species in Pittsburgh include pavement ants and carpenter ants. Managing ants typically involves locating and sealing entry points, removing food sources, and using ant baits or sprays.

Stink Bugs: 

Stink bugs can be a common pest in Pittsburgh during the spring. They are known for invading homes and emit a foul odor when disturbed. Preventive measures like sealing cracks and openings and using exclusion techniques can help control stink bug infestations.

Spiders: 

Spiders are commonly found in Pittsburgh throughout the year, and May is no exception. While most spiders are harmless, some individuals may be concerned about their presence. Regular cleaning, removing webs, and sealing entry points can help reduce spider populations indoors.

Flies: 

With the arrival of warmer weather, flies become more prevalent both indoors and outdoors. Fly control often involves proper sanitation, eliminating breeding sites, and using fly traps or insecticides.

Christmas Tree Pests

Every year homeowners bring beautiful Christmas trees into their homes to brighten up the season however because of the warm weather homeowners could be bringing something in with the Christmas tree; hidden insects! Christmas trees smell great and are the perfect holiday decorations. Unfortunately, entomologists found that a single tree can contain up to 25,000 insects at a time! No one wants to deal with a pest infestation in their homes, especially during the holidays. To learn how to prevent Christmas tree insects in your home this holiday season, follow these tips from Budget Pest Control Services

Inspect before buying

Before choosing a tree, inspect it for irregularities, spots, damaged branches or trunk, or signs of pests.

Shake it out! 

On your own or with the assistance of an attendant, vigorously shake out the tree before bringing it home with you.

Leave the tree in the garage. 

Store the Christmas tree in your garage or a covered area for a few days to settle.

Use a vacuum to clean up. 

Regularly inspect your tree, vacuum up falling needles, and, if necessary, vacuum up any pests.

Most Common Christmas Tree Insects

Whether you choose a Douglas fir, spruce tree, balsam fir, or white pine, there are several common Christmas tree pests to be aware of. Perhaps the most common Christmas tree pest is the aphid, which is a tiny bug often found on the lower branches of trees. Aphids are common in balsam firs and spruce trees, and leave a dark stain when crushed.

Some other typical Christmas tree insects are spiders, mites, bark beetles, sawflies, moths, and even praying mantises. Although most of these insects are harmless, they can cause a lot of frustration for any homeowner.

If you bring home a Christmas tree and find that it’s seriously infested with insects, it’s recommended to get a new one or replace it. It’s important to not spray any pesticides on your tree because aerosols are flammable, which may interfere with the lights and decorations. 

Other Decorations

Pest issues that happen in artificial trees can also be seen in other decorations. Boxes that sit in the closet for months, especially those made of cardboard, attract roaches and other bugs. Rodents like to chew on strings like those that store Christmas lights, so make sure to look out for chew marks. Most pests like to live and hide in dark areas, like the place you are most likely keeping your decorations for most of the year.

After the Holidays

When you are ready to take down your tree, make sure to dispose of or store it properly. After removing the decorations, you can put a real tree on the curb for pick-up. Once it is out of the house, thoroughly clean the area where it was, making sure to vacuum, sweep and/or mop the area and collect all stray needles. Allow the Christmas tree stand to dry completely before putting it away.

Pests That Can Ruin Your Thanksgiving

You’re sure to spend tons of time and effort perfecting your grocery list, decorating your home, and preparing the food. So much time and effort goes into hosting Thanksgiving. If you have pests in your home, however, that’s all anyone will remember. Don’t let pests ruin your Thanksgiving! Unfortunately, the increased amount of food and foot traffic in your home won’t just attract more humans, but pests as well. Budget Pest Control Services has provided a list of a few pests that can ruin your Thanksgiving. 

Mice

Mice are always searching for food and shelter, especially when the cold weather arrives. Ensure that your house is free of any visible holes or cracks that grant entrance to these animals. Remember, mice only require holes the size of dimes to squeeze through! The scents emitting from your home during this week will attract mice, which is why you should also make sure that you adequately dispose of all food scraps. Use scented garbage bags and place all trash outside in sealed containers.

Bed Bugs

Spending time with those you love is what makes Thanksgiving such a special day. However, if you’re staying over at someone’s house for the holiday, make sure you inspect your room for bed bugs. Check the mattress, bed frame, carpeting, linens, etc., and make sure you place your bag on a desk or nightstand. 

Ants

Bringing plates of food to and from the kitchen to the dining room will obviously result in a spill or two. Even just a small piece of stuffing in the corner of the kitchen can attract ants.  All it takes is for a single ant to discover a food source and from there, the colony will be quickly alerted. To avoid this, make sure your post-meal cleaning is swift and thorough.

When Thanksgiving arrives this week, your only worry should be spending quality time with those you love and not worrying about pests. If you fear your home may have a problem with pests contact Budget Pest Control Services. We are available for any and all questions. We stand beside you before, during, and after the treatment.

What Happens to Termites in the Fall & Winter? Termite season is, unfortunately, all year long. Many assume that termites go dormant in the fall and winter like some other types of pests, but that’s not true. Termites swarm in the spring, but will still reside in and infest homes throughout the colder months of the year. They are less likely to be seen, especially since they may tunnel further underground to escape the colder weather outside. The reality is that termites are able to damage your home 24/7, 365 days a year. This makes it even more important to know how to look for signs of termites in your property, even in the fall and winter months. As much as you might wish you didn’t have to worry about termites in the fall and winter, it’s important to stay observant about these pests all year long. The termite exterminators at Budget Pest Control know how upsetting it can be to discover an infestation. Contact Budget Pest Control today for a free estimate or more details. 412-318-4912.

Bed Bugs During Thanksgiving

Isn’t it great to see family and friends on Thanksgiving? There’s all that catching up to do. But, traveling to see the people we love can be stressful. There’s packing and long hours spent sitting in a vehicle. On top of all that, now you have to worry about bed bugs. 

When you get to where you’re going, be sure to do a quick inspection of the room you’ll be staying in. Bed bugs can infest a home for months without being detected. Just because you’re staying in a safe place, it doesn’t mean you’re safe from bed bugs. Stay observant and you can prevent a bed bug infestation from returning home with you.
